Antitrust case: Amazon refuses to send Jeff Bezos to testify in US Congress

Amazon has declined to send its Founder and CEO Jeff Bezos to testify before the US House of Representatives Committee as part of an ongoing antitrust probe, saying it will “make the appropriate executive available” to testify.

In a reply to the panel, Amazon’s vice president of public policy Brian Huseman said on Friday that they have been working with the Committee in good faith for nearly a year to provide answers and information, and “remain prepared to make the appropriate Amazon executive available to the Committee to address these issues”.

Amazon’s blog late on Friday did not commit to a specific person or consideration for who could eventually testify.
